So happy that I can run even if it is an old version of Freebasic on the Raspberry Pi. Freebasic  is a lot like but not exactly like qbasic. The first thing I did was to port a spreadsheet to the unit. To set up Freebasic, the first thing I did was to download the tarball and the extract it. (from sourceforge.net ) $ tar xvf fbc-0.91.0-pi-debian.tar.gz Install it. $ sudo ./install.sh -i And lastly install a few goodies to make the install complete.  $ sudo apt-get install libxext-dev libncurses5-dev libx11-dev libxpm-dev libxrandr-dev libstdc++6-4.4-dev You should be able to write a test program to see if the install worked. In an editor, type a simple program. $ vim test,bas PRINT "hello!" Compile it $ fbc test.bas Run it. $ ./test hello! There is more to it than that but that is a quickie starter.
